I've never met a person who doesn't like pancakes. The great thing about pancakes is that they are so easy to make and you can customize them however you'd like. I don't eat pancakes often, but when I do, topping them with fruit is my favorite. Sometimes I even throw fruit into the batter and cook them like that. Blueberries and bananas are the best. Just be careful with your toppings, as it's very easy to turn pancakes into a sugary mess rather than a healthy treat for breakfast. Stick with fruits and homemade nut butters, or dark chocolate. And if you're going to use syrup, make sure it's pure maple syrup.
This recipe was created when a non-vegan friend called me and said she needed pancakes but didn't have any eggs. I put this together using basic ingredients she had in her home. This is not gluten free as I did use wheat flour, and I'm not sure how they would turn out with the gluten free flour, but I would guess they would be just as good. Please let me know if you try it.
Also, if you know anything about baking, you'll notice a rather large amount of baking powder. That's because I like my pancakes very fluffy - don't judge.
Ingredients:
2 TBSP Coconut Oil
1 Cup Almond Milk
1 tsp Vanilla
1 TBSP Stevia (or coconut sugar)
2 TBSP Baking Powder
1 Cup Whole Wheat Flour
Process:
Heat up a flat pan on the stove top. I keep my heat just below medium. Using a fork or whisk, mix together dry ingredients. Add wet ingredients and mix until combined. It's okay if it's a little lumpy, just make sure to scrape the bottom of the bowl to get all the dry ingredients mixed in. Your pan should be heated by this time. Do a test drop if you aren't sure. Spray pan with a non-stick spray. Pour a small amount of batter onto your pan and watch the magic happen. You'll see the pancakes puff up and start to bubble a little on top, this is when you know to flip them. They cook fast so don't wander off.
I made six large pancakes with this recipe. Thanks to all the baking powder, these pancakes do expand quite a bit on the pan so if you're going to cook two at a time, make sure you leave plenty of room in between the pancakes. They also freeze well, so if you don't eat all six, wait until they're fully cooled down, wrap them in plastic wrap and toss them in the freezer for breakfast another day. Enjoy!
